    Three in the morning

    Title sounds like words from a Leonard Cohen song "It's four in the morning, the end of December" ok well it's three in the morning and not quite the end of December. Today has been an eye opener for me in that my alcoholism has gone off the scale. I can now see why the doctors did not give me diazepam, I was too emotional. They probably feared I would drink on it. I am going to keep trying for it . I have three more days at work before the Christmas break and I really want to go in.

    Also am worried sick that my doctors are going to make me go into a treatment centre. I would love to go. ........but if I did I would lose my job and my family would be furious, is there anyone here now on this forum who I can talk to? xxx

        DD, glad you realize you need to stop - this is the very important event. Now - do you have any support? Why your family will be furious? Why doctors turned you down with diazepam?

            Thank God someone has helped me

            Thank you so much for answering. I have just spoken to the emergency doctor on the phone and she has prescribed diazepam for me. I will go to work, but get a cab, after work will pick up diazepam, if I feel rough at lunchtime at work I will leave to go to the chemist to get diazepam but I think the shakes etc won't kick in until the evening xxxx

              Hi, DD:

              Are you sure you would lose your job if you went to a treatment center? Can you go somewhere for the holiday? Why would your family be furious? I'm in and out for a couple of hours. Helping kids with homework and checking in.

                    dd. hope your ok. i don't have much advice to offer but if you're still here at.this time of the morning is it such a good idea to go to work. i.can't imagine you will be very chirpy in the morning.g. maybe you.could take the.day off and rest and get your prescription and maybe get a good nights rest tomorrow.
                    Today is the tomorrow i worried about yesterday and it turned out fine

                      Hi DD! Sorry I wasn't around at the crucial time for you...I KNOW how hard it is to be floundering around wanting someone to talk to and feeling alone. I'm so glad others were able to help you. This place has saved many lives (including mine), believe that! :l

                      I hope you make it through the day okay and get your meds and get some rest tonight. I still take lorazepam as needed, it does help when the anxiety kicks in.

                      Please let us know how you're doing! :h

                        Thanks proud to say I am sober

                        I have the diazepam but will only take them if I need them. I only have 6x2mg so nothing that could get me addicted. Have not taken any yet. No booze in house and I am about to get out of clothes into the bath so there will be no way that I will drink,.

                        Thanks so much for all support, today is definitely day one! Exhausted as was awake most of last night. Work was hectic but great fun, it always is at this time of year!

                            Late to the party here, but I wanted to let you know that we have indeed, walked in your shoes. We got thru it taking one step at a time. I told myself if I got thru the last 15 minutes, I could get thru the next 15.
                            I know you have checked into the Newbie's Nest before...I hope you will consider doing so again...it is busy and there's always someone there. I nearly missed this thread, so I hope you'll consider going over there for more support!!! Thinking of you and sending you strength!! Byrdie
